Addison Behavioral Resources

Specialties

ABR provides services to individuals with developmental disabilities ranging in age from birth to 22 years, with the client’s caregivers being an active part of the treatment process. While the majority of individuals that we serve have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we also serve individuals with a variety of other disabilities (e.g., Down syndrome, pediatric feeding disorders, cerebral palsy, Prader-​Willi, etc.) that engage in challenging behaviors.

All services provided by ABR are based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). Programs are individualized, data-​driven, and address skills across a variety of developmental domains such as, communication, academic and early learning skills, social skills, self-​help skills, self-​management, toileting, motor skills, and play skills.
